Rawai Seafood Market

7° 46.5′ N · 98° 19.7′ E

A 100 m strip on Wiset Road beside Rawai Pier: buy fish, prawns, crab or lobster at the stalls on one side, carry it across, and a restaurant opposite cooks it for you. Mook Manee, the biggest, is listed in the Michelin Guide.

Practical

Cooking fees from about 100 THB per kg, or 50-100 THB per dish, depending on the restaurant (Phuket 101, 2026); ask before you hand over your bag. Prices are chalked on cards; agree the price per kg and watch the scale. Large prawns reach about 1,500 THB/kg. Quietest late morning, busiest around 7pm. Address: 22/9 Wiset Road, Rawai. Salaloy Seafood along the beach road is a local favourite with its own kitchen.
